Rasmus Sandin has been placed on injured reserve by the Washington Capitals, adding to the team's ongoing challenges with player injuries. The young defenseman sustained an unspecified injury that has already sidelined him for an extended period, complicating the Capitals' efforts to maintain a competitive lineup this season.

Sandin's absence is expected to have significant implications for the Capitals' defensive strategy, as he has been a key player since joining the team. His ability to contribute on both ends of the ice has made him a valuable asset, and his loss will be keenly felt as the Capitals strive to stay in contention within a tough division.

Head coach Peter Laviolette mentioned the team's need to adapt and find solutions amidst the injuries. With Sandin out, the Capitals will likely need to rely on their depth and younger players to step up. The organization remains optimistic that Sandin will return to form, but for now, the focus is on navigating the challenges posed by his absence.
